Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication might not function without modification. To view the default IP address settings on the print server, use the HP Jetdirect configuration page.
TCP/IP configuration tools
When a network connection is established, you can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network, using the following methods:
●Software solutions Use installation, setup, and management software running on supported systems. For more information see HP software solutions summary on page 7.
●BOOTP/TFTP Download the data from a
The BOOTP daemon (bootpd) must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.
●DHCP/TFTP Use DHCP and TFTP each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on
NOTE: For more information about Linux and UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page.

●RARP Use RARP to answer the print server's RARP request and supply the print server with the IP address. The RARP method allows you to only configure the IP address. For more information, see “Use RARP (IPv4) on page 37”.
●arp and ping commands (Only for print servers configured with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192) Use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see “Use the arp and ping commands (IPv4) on page 38”.
●Telnet Set configuration parameters by creating a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server, using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see “Use Telnet (IPv4) on page 39”.
●HP Embedded Web Server Use the HP Embedded Web Server on the HP Jetdirect print server to set configuration parameters. For more information, see HP Embedded Web Server (V. 45.xx.nn.xx) on page 63.
●Printer control panel (For printers that support HP Jetdirect control panel menus.) Manually enter the configuration data, using the printer control panel keys. Because you can configure a
